Chapter 179
In her previous life, she was not a talented person who schemed for the palace. She was just an ordinary
When Mo Feifei heard what Guo Xin said, she burst out laughing and said, "You are really daydreaming, aren't you? The decree that has been issued cannot be changed. The reason I am telling you this now is to tell you that you must find out why the He family is unwilling to let you enter the family tree."
"So what should we do with this imperial decree now?"
"Since the imperial edict has been issued, and you are far away in Suining City, it is impossible for you to interfere, so you can only accept it. As for the Sixth Prince, he himself has a very strong personality and is very favored. By then, you will have become the legitimate daughter of the emperor, so there should be no problem."
Guo Xin watched the last wisp of cigarette smoke dissipate in the air, and the doubts in her heart gradually became clear. However, she had not heard anything about what was happening in the capital. It was time to write a letter and ask.
Seeing Guo Xin's frown slowly relax, Mo Feifei said, "Do you want to go back to Beijing with me?"
"No." Guo Xin shook his head. This matter must be handled in Beijing in person, but now the glass workshop's affairs have to be dealt with, and he can't be away all at once.
"Then I'll go ahead and wait for you in the capital." Mo Feifei looked deeply at the grown-up girl in front of her. She was willing to spend a lot of money to help the girl in front of her not only because she wanted to help other women, but also because she seemed to have a tenacious and positive quality.
Even if she hadn't supported the girl in the beginning, there would be others who would support her. So, if that's the case, what's wrong with being a mentor and letting people remember her kindness?
She had a deep premonition that the girl in front of her would definitely cause some waves if she came to the capital, which was really exciting to think about.
Seeing Mo Feifei's eyes, Guo Xin didn't ask any more questions. She believed that if there was anything important, Mo Feifei would definitely tell her, so she smiled and sent Mo Feifei out of the hot pot restaurant.
Guo Xin turned and walked towards Su Jin with a serious expression, completely different from his previous gentle demeanor.
"Su Jin, have you received any letters from the capital during this period?"
"Miss, no." Su Jin followed closely behind Guo Xin, paused, and then said, "It's just that the eldest lady seemed to have received a letter from the capital some time ago, but it was a letter from Pei's family."
Pei Shi? Pei Yuan? But didn't Pei Yuan follow Zhao He to the border? Why did he return to the capital to send a letter to his elder sister? Did something happen?
Thinking of this, Guo Xin stopped and ordered, "Go back home."
……
Mo Feifei sat in the cushioned carriage. She felt under the seat and pressed a round wooden button. With a click, a box popped out with a piece of yellow letter paper inside.
She pulled it out, stroking the uneven surface of the paper, her thoughts going back to the day when she received the letter. She was sitting in the mansion looking at the account book as usual, occasionally trimming the branches in the vase.
"Master, there is another letter from the capital. But this letter is not from the palace, but from Pei." The word Pei was clearly engraved on the red wax on the letter paper.
When Mo Feifei heard the last two words, she lost her grip on the pen and the ink spread across the paper. The maid who delivered the letter hurried to help clean it up.
She stared at the word "Pei" for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. She had been a servant of the Pei family since she was young. Her father was the steward of the Pei family, and her mother was the personal maid of the mistress of the second branch of the Pei family. Since she was born, she had been assigned to be the playmate of the second daughter of the mistress of the second branch of the Pei family.
The second and fifth branches of the Pei family have a close relationship. The fifth branch has a illegitimate little boy who is about the same age as the young lady. Since she was a child, she has played with the young lady and the little boy.
The young master was different from other masters. He treated her very well, and they developed feelings for each other after a while.
As the days passed, the young lady and the young master both reached the age for marriage. She knew that she was just a maid of the Pei family. No matter how noble her master was, she was still just a slave. She never dared to imagine marrying the young master of the Pei family, even if he was just a concubine's daughter.
That day, the young master of the Pei family suddenly proposed to her that he wanted to take her as his concubine. She was very young at that time and was very happy, thinking that she could spend her life with the one she loved in another way.
But before the young master could go to his mistress to plead for mercy, an imperial edict sent her and the young lady into the palace. From then on, her marriage was delayed, and she could only wait until the day when her master let her out of the palace.
During her many years in the palace, she never stopped improving herself, and helped her master win favor step by step, gaining a lot of benefits for the Pei family. She handled countless matters, both openly and secretly, and often met her childhood sweetheart under the pretext of doing business.
It’s just that the “sweetheart” had already married and had children, and had slowly risen from an insignificant bastard to a position of power in the Pei family.
She also needed to abide by the palace rules and never overstep the line. Sometimes her master would ask her about her marriage, and she would just smile and not answer. But after all, she had been with her master for many years, and there was nothing his master didn't know. Therefore, he just kept giving her money on the pretext of doing one thing after another, and promised her to do whatever she wanted outside the palace.
During her many years in the palace, she had also gotten rid of her childhood mentality and was devoted to accompanying her master, and also patiently accompanying her master's little sons. When the Sixth Prince was six years old, His Majesty seemed to have made up his mind and wiped out all the aristocratic families, and the Pei family was naturally not spared.
"Master, we have arrived at the post station ahead. We will rest there tonight. All the food that you like is prepared." The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the maid whispered to Mo Feifei. She caught a glimpse of the letter in her hand and looked at her worriedly.
Mo Feifei smiled at the maid, put the letter in her hand back into her arms, and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. I just don't know how long it will take to get to the capital."
The maid gave an instruction to the coachman outside and got into the carriage.
"Master, I have only followed you since you arrived in Suining City. I don't know much about the affairs of the capital. But I think if you really don't want to go back to the capital, then you can just find an excuse to refuse based on the kindness you have received over the years and the money and reputation you have accumulated. Why force yourself to do something you don't want to do?"
Her eyes were clear and puzzled. Mo Feifei couldn't help but laugh at her expression: "You are really like me when I was young, both of us are just as innocent. You know there are some things that cannot be rejected and cannot be offset by money, fame or friendship."
Even if some of it could be offset, if it was a letter from a lady in the palace, she would not have to go. But this time the letter was from the "sweetheart" who had never replied to her since the incident was exposed. The letter said that he would give her an explanation, so she naturally had to go back to take a look.
